LAX
I heard that AS is moving from T3 over to T6. Will VX take over all of T3 now? If they do, will they renovate it some more? Anyone know anything about whats going on, if there is anything going on?

I'm wondering about this too after I saw AS is on the move. T3 is a sad little place that needs some TLC. Maybe VX will take over AS's BR and share with VAustralia and swank it up a bit, ala Virgin style...

I agree...T3 DOES need some TLC! If VX took it all over with V Australia...maybe even moving Virgin Atlantic over there...and made it their "Virgin Amazing" style...that would be really cool!

The carriers that were in T3 before VX kicked them over to T6 (where VX was before they came to T3) will likely come back to T3, so I wouldn't get your hopes up that VX will take over the terminal.
In addition, VS isn't likely to come to T3- no customs and immigration station, which is one of the reasons why AS wants out (aside from their side of T3 really being T3rdWorld, and wanting to be closer to their new partner DL in T5- right now it's a LOOOONG walk or two bus rides).

Airplane!
But, but, but...
T3 is the terminal where the 1980 comedy classic "Airplane!" was filmed, before the double decking of the LAX roadway:

And on the baggage claim level it HAS NOT CHANGED AT ALL!

With up to three flights a day leaving LAX to either SYD, MEL or BNE and if they are serious about getting business/status passengers to fly VAustralia a nice INT lounge would be great
